Error with a method that calls another function

Question

I got a mysterious error-message in swift, xcode:

The following code has an error at the line with somethingElse(p) that says "Use of unresolved identifier 'somethingElse'".

enum symbol: Int {
    case x = 1
    case o = 2
}

class player {
    var p: symbole

    init(p: symbol) {
        self.p = symbol
    }

    func something() {
        somethingElse(p)
    }
}

but when I called the method and worked with it like

func somethingElse(p: symbol) {
    bla = p
}


var test = player(p: .x)
test.something()
bla

the error-message still appears, but everything works fine.

ur right, thanks. But that came with copying (and anonymise) the code to stack overflow... — Jere, Dec 10 '14 at 22:32
I'm not sure I understand the question... Calling a method that isn't defined is an error. I assume this isn't surprising to you so what are you asking? — Daniel T., Dec 10 '14 at 22:38
The posted code is *not* what you put in the playground. Please post the code you put in the playground and we can help you. — Daniel T., Dec 11 '14 at 01:32

This code compiles fine:

enum symbol: Int {
    case x = 1
    case o = 2
}

class player {
    var p: symbol

    init(p: symbol) {
        self.p = p
    }

    func something() {
        somethingElse(p)
    }
}

func somethingElse(p: symbol) {
    //bla = p
}

var test = player(p: .x)
test.something()
//bla
